Crisp, crystallized, piercingInvigorating airWistfully passes, fades, loosensAs the sigh of the wind falls hushedTo a fresh, pure, earthy warmthBright, longing sunRises from its sorrowfulCocoon of rough woolen cloudsIrradiating a hopeful worldOnly after its nightly rest it losesCourage, seals away its beamsSuccumbs to dry, wintryShies away from the overcast skyLeaves you empty and woefulManipulative mother natureFooled you againWaved April in front of your noseWhen it'sStillFebruary
